Biomechanics of neck injuries resulting from rear-end vehicle collisions.
It has been claimed that 85% of the neck injuries caused by car accidents are the result of rear-end collisions. This type of injury is called a whiplash injury, and its mechanisms are not completely understood due to the limited ability to diagnose them using X-ray or MRI. Biomechanical studies including research on injury mechanisms, injury criteria, neck kinematics and injury epidemiology we...
متن کاملToward a Lower Neck Rear Impact Injury Criterion – Correlation of Lower Neck Loads with Spinal Kinematics
Experimental research and analysis was focused on developing a lower neck rear impact injury criterion. Development was based on correlations between spinal kinematics and lower neck loads obtained using human cadaver intact head-neck complex specimens. Kinematics were significantly dependent (p<0.05) upon gender and spinal level. Anterior-posterior shear force demonstrated highest correlations...
متن کاملA farewell to brake reaction times? Kinematics-dependent brake response in naturalistic rear-end emergencies.
Driver braking behavior was analyzed using time-series recordings from naturalistic rear-end conflicts (116 crashes and 241 near-crashes), including events with and without visual distraction among drivers of cars, heavy trucks, and buses. A simple piecewise linear model could be successfully fitted, per event, to the observed driver decelerations, allowing a detailed elucidation of when driver...
متن کاملA Comparison of Short - and Long - Term Consequences of Ais 1 Neck Injuries , in Rear Impacts
Maria Krafft Folksam Research and Karolinska Institute Sweden. Despite a good prognosis for individual victims, AIS 1 neck injuries causing long-term consequences are the most common disability injury in Sweden. This study compares the characteristics of rear impacts causing both shortand long-term disabil ity neck injuries. Real life data from Swedish insurance material during 1 990-1 993 were...
متن کاملA Comparison Study of Active Head Restraints for Neck Protection in Rear-end Collisions
Neck injuries caused by rear-end collisions have become a major problem in traffic safety over the last two decades, however, surprisingly little effort has been made so far to improve car seat and head rest design. Several studies have shown, that whiplash injuries can be reduced by minimizing the gap between head and head restraint during the first phase of a rear-end impact. On the other han...
